Scar less Breast Surgery With VABB in India
Scarless Breast Surgery
Benign breast lump removal can be done using vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) technique with the use of state-of-the-art medical equipment without the need for surgery. Vacuum-assisted excision of benign breast lumps is a minimally invasive procedure. The removal is done under the influence of local anesthesia to numb the pain. Some of the high risk lesions like papilloma and radial scars can also be removed using this technique.
Dr. Jyoti Arora has significantly contributed to the field of minimally invasive breast surgery, particularly in the scarless removal of benign breast lumps. VABB was approved in 2002 by the FDA for the removal of benign breast tumors. VABB can be used to remove benign breast lesions up to 3 to 4 cm in size. It is reported to be safe, with 96.8% of patients with lesions 3 to 4 cm having no residual masses on follow-up ultrasound. Her expertise and pioneering techniques have led to better patient outcomes and advancements in breast imaging and surgery. Dr. Arora's commitment to patient care and innovation is reflected in her practice and teaching, ensuring that the latest, most effective methods are available to her patients.
